M.A. Ford Tuffcut Al End Mill
The M.A. Ford 13578705N5 is a two-flute necked end mill designed for aluminium machining. Its 20.0 mm cutting diameter suits profiling and slotting operations where chip evacuation and finish quality are important. The tool is supplied new and carries the Tuffcut Al designation for non-ferrous work.
Verify Spindle And Holder Compatibility
Confirm that your machine spindle accepts a 20.0 mm shank or that you have a suitable collet or holder for this diameter. Check available stick-out length against the necked section to avoid interference with fixtures or workpiece walls. Ensure your CNC controller can run the feeds and speeds recommended for two-flute aluminium tooling.
Replaces Smaller Or Worn Aluminium Cutters
This end mill steps up from smaller-diameter tools when wider slots or fewer passes are needed on aluminium parts. It also replaces dull or chipped two-flute cutters that leave poor surface finish or generate excessive heat. The jump is worthwhile when cycle time reduction and consistent edge quality outweigh the higher tool cost.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box with the M.A. Ford 13578705N5 end mill and do I need to buy a tool holder separately?
The box contains the 20.0 mm necked end mill only; a compatible tool holder or collet must be purchased separately to mount it in your machine.
How do I choose between the available versions of the TuffCut Al 2 flute necked end mill?
This listing is for the single 20.0 mm diameter variant; select it when your operation requires that exact cutting diameter and necked reach.
What does the 20.0 mm diameter mean for actual milling performance in aluminium?
The 20.0 mm cutting diameter determines the maximum width of cut per pass and requires a machine spindle with sufficient torque and rigidity for aluminium profiling.
